Screen Display
Brightness, sleep, theme colour, the touch beep, the boot logo, the Nebula Camera settings, and turning the picture for a screen mounted upside down.
The real screen app, showing data from a printer running NebulaOS.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Brightness | Backlight level. The levels come from NebulaOS. |
| Sleep after | Never / 30 seconds / 1 minute / 5 minutes / 10 minutes / 30 minutes / 1 hour. Touch to wake. |
| Theme colour | Blue, Red, Green, Purple, Pink, Yellow. Applies immediately. |
| Touch beep | A short click through the buzzer on every tap. A test beep plays when you turn it on. |
| Rotate screen | Turns the picture 180° for a screen mounted the other way round, then asks for a new touch calibration. See below. NebulaOS 1.0.3 and later. |
| Boot logo | Choose the boot screen and power-on logo of this boot slot: the NebulaOS logo, an image added from a USB stick or uploaded in Mainsail (PNG, BMP or JPEG, max 4 MB), or Restore Creality logo. |
| Camera | Creality Nebula Camera settings: night mode, anti-flicker, white balance, exposure, picture sliders, Defaults, Restart camera. See Camera. |
If your screen is mounted upside down, turn the picture 180°:
- Settings → Display, switch Rotate screen on.
- The screen restarts upside down and asks you to calibrate touch: tap the centre of each crosshair. The calibration belongs to one orientation, so it is done again each time.
To go back, switch Rotate screen off; the screen asks for a calibration once more. The boot screen follows the same setting.
Before NebulaOS 1.0.3 there is no switch; the setting is a line in the screen's settings file:
- In Mainsail, open Machine and the file
nebulascreen/nebulascreen.json. - Find the line
"display_rotate": 2,and change the2to0(2is the normal KE mounting,0is turned 180°). Leave the comma at the end. - Save & Close, then restart the printer.
- If taps land in the wrong place, run Settings → Reset → Reset touch calibration and tap the targets.
Opens from Settings → Display → Boot logo. Sets the picture shown while the printer starts and the power-on logo, for the slot you are running.

| Apply | Makes the selected image the boot screen and the power-on logo. |
| Add from USB | Copies an image from a plugged-in stick into the printer and selects it. |
| Delete | Removes an image you added. The NebulaOS logo cannot be deleted. |

There is no picture yet of the list of images on a stick, or of the result after adding one - that needs a stick in the printer.
Images can also be uploaded in Mainsail - PNG, BMP or JPEG, up to 4 MB. See Resetting for the other things under Settings → Display.
